Culturally speaking, the Back Bay is known for being the home of the wealthy and the upper middle class. It is best-known for its expensive housing and shopping areas. Most stores are located on Newbury and Boylston Streets, with the ends closer to the
Boston Public Garden
traditionally more expensive. The Back Bay is dense with luxury hotels that include
The Colonnade Hotel
, Westin Copley Place, Fairmont Copley Plaza, and the largest hotel in the city, the Marriott Copley. The new
Mandarin Oriental, Boston
is due to open in June 2008, with an arcade area housing a number of upscale designer boutiques and restaurants.
The Copley Square area is close to the
Back Bay railroad terminal
, and is the eastern nexus of a system of hotels and shopping centers connected by a set of glassed-in pedestrian overpasses.
The large Copley Place mall includes the first
Neiman Marcus
opened in the New England area. The system of overpasses extends over half a mile[citation needed
]
to the
Prudential Center
and the shops surrounding it. The 52-story
Prudential Tower
, thought a marvel in 1964, is now considered ugly by some.[4]
However, the Prudential Skywalk observatory offers wonderful views of Back Bay, Boston, and surrounding areas.
